Drought conditions, to varying degrees, continued across south-central and southeast Wisconsin through November, but did show improvement by the end of the month thanks to above normal precipitation.  At the start of the month, D0 (abnormally dry) conditions existed north of a line from Dodgeville (Iowa Co.) to Fond du Lac (Fond du Lac Co.).  D1 (moderate drought) conditions existed south of this line, while south of a line from Darlington (Lafayette Co.) to Racine (Racine Co.), D2 (severe drought) conditions existed.  As the month advanced, the severe drought area retreated to only Racine and Kenosha counties.  The tier of counties from Marquette to Sheboygan county dropped entirely from drought conditions by the end of the month, and the northern extent of D1 and D2 conditions retreated southward a bit.  For the month, except for Lafayette County, all counties had at least 3 to 4 inches, with a band from Beloit to West Bend to Port Washington receiving 4 to 5 inches.  The Whitewater to Dousman area had over 5 inches, while Whitewater had high honors with 5.72 inches of precipitation in November, 2005.  One-third to two-thirds of the this montly precipitation fell on November 5th in the form of showers and thunderstorms.   Normal November precipitation for southern Wisconsin is 2 to 3 inches.
